Clothing Guidelines

Hi! I have not been here for a couple of weeks. Have been quite busy. Today, I got hold of a portion of Outfit Guidelines. Credit goes to Colleen Hammond, author of Dressing with 'dignity. I feel that it is worth posting here even just a portion of it.

Top: Is the blouse, shirt or top well designed. When shopping for a top, here are a few tips to keep in mind.
First, try it on in front of a mirror and bend over, How far does the neckline drop away from your chest? Can you see down your top to your chest? Or, worse yet, your belly button? If you can see down y9our shi8rt, then so can everyone else.
Second, when wearing a knit shirt, take your fingertips and press them into your shirt over your breastbone. When you take your hand away, does the shirt immediately spring back? If so, the shirt doesn't work because it is too tight. (Well-endowed ladies need to be extra careful).

I will start with these two first. Promise, I will come back to share with you the rest. My goal is that to write about fashion and decency in my coming posts.

See you again.

Month of Love

We are now in the month of February, a month known for love. Since this is the case, I am planning to include here some quotations that have to do with love, not necessarily romantic love. Love is something beautiful. Everyone is in need of love and in need to give love. I would even like to add that when one is filled up with authentic love, she naturally glows. Can we say, it is the safest cheapest cosmetics.

By the way, I am reading another book. It is entitled: It is so You. Nice and practical one for those who would like to be in the art of dressing up and looking good.

Christmas Greeting

To all my friends and relatives and of course to all,

A warm Chrirstmas greeting from me. Just a few hours from now, we will once again welcome in our hearts the 2nd Person of the Blessed Trinity. May this Christmas be a an occasion for us to reflect with depth the real meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ. The beauty of this feast does not really lies on the value of the gifts one will receives. Instead, it is an invitation for us to imitate His life: generous self giving (loving us without measure) and detachment (although He is the King he allowed Himself to be born in a manger). May our joy during this season be measured not by the amount of gifts we receive but rather by the way we give ourselves to the others and most specially, the way we respond to the love that Jesus continues to shower us.

Merry Christmas and Happy to all.

Seminar

Hello! I am attending a seminar right now. The schedule is not as hectic as I was imagining it. A lot of time is available to reflect on the events that are happening now in our country and in the entire world. I was following the election in United States and praying as well. What can you say about the results? Well, I continue to pray that everything will turn into something good. Coming back soon again.

Just Checking

It has been so long before I am able to write again. I have been quite busy with urgent and more pressing things to attend to. I am quite honoured that the author of the book “Dressing with Dignity”, Colleen Hammond, visited this blog. I checked her blog as she included the link in the comment. Her blog is quite interesting. For those who would like to get ideas on clothing styles, you can definitely get them from her blog. I visited it a few times and I was impressed with the styles from various designers that she placed in the blog. Do check them out to have good ideas about what is fashionable these days.

Something Worth Reading

For quite sometime now, I have been trying to post what I read from Dressing with Dignity. Unfortunately, the system was not cooperating and there was always a failure in posting.

"And I think it's pretty obvious that the women's fashions of today are often geared toward destroying a woman's sensitivity for her femininity. When did femininity become such an undesirable characteristic?
Dr. Alice Hildebrand says that when women no longer know how to blush, it is an indication that a society is on the verge of moral collapse. If this is true, it sounds like we're in a lot of trouble" (page 8).

Sad to say, it is becoming more evident that we are indeed going to that direction. Just look around your environment and observe television shows, movies, ooncerts, etc. and surely one would get theat vibe. Can we do something about it? Of course, each one in her own little way will be able to do something. And we have to start now.
